how to add a DMARC record

Note! If you are managing the DNS records for your domain elsewhere (like Cloudflare for example or via another DNS provider) you will need to copy these records over to your DNS provider.

You can view the RAW DMARC record to copy it and add it where the DNS is being managed for your domain.

That’s it! You’ve successfully added an SPF, DKIM and DMARC record for your domain. These records are DNS records.

It will take some time for these records to become fully effective as this is a DNS change. DNS changes incur a period of time known as DNS propagation (read more about DNS propagation here).
